SF would be a serious threat if Mary Lou wasnt overseeing proceedings â EOB or PD would have the whole country out socially distancing drilling with hurleys⌠I suspect thereâs a Fembot element behind Mary Lou also

What do you mean by fembot in this context. Iâd argue MLMD gets more favourable coverage from the likes of the Irish Times female journos/woke twitteratti than a more gruff male leader such as Pearse

The sisters be loving her.
Exactly, so having her at the helm is a good electoral strategy. Pearse has more substance and is probably more respected by the northern base but wonât appeal to the middle class women. EOB boxes off the genuine socialist angle so between the three of them they have all the demographics covered but the woke vote is probably most transient so needs MLMD as the figurehead.

Yeah but when it comes to performance she aint up to it â grand giving a few sound bites here and there ⌠But sheâs not quick off the mark or with daycent come backs in debates / interviews.
This sounds like great television. I canât wait.
None of that matters to the majority of voters. Mary Lou is doing a tremendous job of increasing their popularity that a male leader wouldnât do.

Irish career politicians canvassing for a Commission job is quite unedifying.

The decline in gravitas will mirror when Ferguson left United. Philâs replacement will be overawed, like Moyes grinning like a fool in his new office delighted with his MUFC mousemat or Ole afraid to park in Sir Alexâs parking space.

Unnecessary. The fridge was the go-to bank in the heady days of salary, dig-outs and brownies.
After pissing Ursula in Brussels off no end, it now looks lime weâre going to do it again. Apparently Coveney is the only name being put forward for the vacant commissioners post. This despite the fact that she has requested both male and female nominees. Ergo Coveney will be the new commissioner for the protection of gay whales in south Africa

ursula has no right to request anything in respect of appointing commissioners, it is solely a national competence and had we cowed to UVDL on this it would have set a precedent.
if she fucks us over we can screw her over later with a well placed use of the veto
